Last time I was at the doctor's and she told me to start taking two of the bigger pink pills, she said 'I'll get you a new script.' I said 'no need, I have plenty'. What am I some kind of math wizzard/doc combo?! Of course not. She knows what she's doing. And I am running out of the bigger little pink pills. Doh.

I am the first person to look down my nose at what I call Technical Prissy's. (Prissy being of the Gone With The Wind 'Ah don't know nuthin' bout birthin' no babies' fame.) They are the folks who don't have the time to learn anything about the technology they want to use because they are wasting all their time proudly advertising that they are not technical.

Turns out I am a Medical Prissy. I don't know nuthin' bout how doctor's offices work or pharmacists pharm or anything about the rules or protocol. I've spent years being very proud of not knowing a thing about any of it. And catching up ain't easy cause everyone assumes you know the drill. I don't know the drill. I am getting some pretty exasperated answers to my questions.

The pharmacist will contact the doctors office and they will do something and then the pharmacist will get me new pills and I can call the pharmacist at some later date (tomorrow or even this afternoon, I suspect) to find out if my pills are ready or if I need to do something else.

I can learn this. I'll be birthin' babies in no time.

Once Ms. Doctor gets settle on what she wants me to take and how much, I am going to fly over to online ordering and send it to me land.
